About this product

Description

Description

Older than even the Arthurian myths, The Romance of Tristan and Iseult originated in the 12th century and inspired countless other tales of star-crossed lovers. Rooted in Celtic legend and French poetry, the tradition has been interpreted in the form of story, song, and artworks. This stunning hardcover edition features a subtle color treatment by German illustrator Robert Engels that brings the tale to life with effects similar to those of modern graphic vels. Recounted by French medievalist Joseph Bedier and expertly translated by Hilaire Belloc, the story blends visual impact with literary quality. Among works attractive by their rare artistic finish, beauty of illustration, and loftiness of purpose, this should undoubtedly take high rank. -British Books.
